IDEAS-4:
Instrument Development and Education in Airborne Science Phase 4

Summary

Instrument Development and Education in Airborne Science (IDEAS) phase 4 is a three year program to provide opportunities for flight testing of improved instrumentation for airborne research. The goal is to improve the capability of instrumentation for future National Science Foundation (NSF) airborne deployments and to provide opportunities for students to learn about observational science. Phase 4 contains 3 sub-phases for instrumentation testing on three research aircraft: the NSF/NCAR C-130 (2011), the NSF/NCAR GV aircraft (2013), and the University of Wyoming King Air (2012).
